Andrew Breitbart Dead At 43. Journalism entrepreneur and right-wing activist Andrew Breitbart passed away overnight from what are being reported as natural causes. His passing was first reported by Larry Solov of Breitbart's bigjournalism.com website. Breitbart served as the Drudge Report's editor, and helped launch the Huffington Post before developing the breitbart.com family of sites. His death was confirmed by the Los Angeles Coroners' Office. — NU [Ed. Note: I used to IM with Andrew a lot at a former job—most people don't realize that he was Drudge Report. Matt, for a while, was barely there. Andrew was writing those headlines, linking those stories, basically making traffic quotas for sites all over the Web. He always made sure his links were to the originator of the news—not the second or third person to pick up someone else's reporting. He was a weirdo, but not the shouty, angry weirdo he became in the end. He once told me a story, apropos to nothing, about going to see The Cure in concert as a teenager. He was close to the front row. There was a guy next to him going bananas when Robert Smith came on stage. Then, in the middle of the song, the guy pulled out a knife and stabbed himself in the stomach. Seemed unbelievable at the time. Later I found out it was true. —TG]
